Rosalynn Carter continued from front
After the oath of office, President Carter and his
entourage turned and entered the Capitol Building
through the doors behind the massive structure of
wood and bullet proof glass. Swat team members
were everywhere but those were the ones that were in
obvious SWAT gear.We did not know exactly which
door the new President would enter the Capitol so we
waited until the Secret Service sent us a radio call.
I served on Capitol Hill, yes it is a hill, for 10 years and
knew every square inch of the 64 acres that the Capitol
Grounds sits on. So for your edification, when there is
a joint session of Congress, days off are cancelled and
you are on duty for two shifts. Sometimes it was not
worth the long arduous trip home to Southern Virginia,
which, by the way is one of the most beautiful and
historic states in the union. So I stayed in a room with
the rest of the officers.
After a short time in office, the President is obligated
to announce the State of the Union and what has been
going on for the country.
Mostly rhetoric and promises that might not get kept.
When the President enters the building through
Statuary Hall and nears the massive doors to the House
Chamber, the Door Keeper has the doors opened and at
the time I was there, Mr. “Fishbait” Miller would proudly
step forward past me and my colleagues and announce
the arrival of the President in a booming voice : “Mr.
Speaker, the President of the United States of America”, Frank’s photo shows how thick the bullet proof glass is!
